When Fiji thought speed merchant, Samisoni Viriviri may not finish the Olympic 7s tournament after his ankle injury, his family had the strong belief that he will fight until the end.
Samisoni Viriviri's wife, Elenoa told Fijivillage this morning that they did not finish the game against Argentina after Viriviri was carried off the field.
Viriviri turned up against Japan in the semifinals and delivered a superb performance.
Elenoa says her husband was also in doubt before joining the training camp in Uprising.
The 21-year-old from Nakavu and their two week old daughter are eagerly waiting to see the Olympic Gold Medalist back home.
Meanwhile villagers of Dratabu are preparing a big feast to welcome Viriviri and Kitione Taliga.
The villagers are expected to have their celebrations on Tuesday or Wednesday.
The Fiji 7s team will arrive in the country on midday Sunday while the national celebration will be held on Monday.
